Gave this a solid 90. Classic llicorella, bright fruit profile with mid-spice palate and a long, clean finish that stands up to meats and sauces. Great wine at great value, imho.

Crimson colour, not crystal clear. Inviting nose but with an astringent kick ( like port). Good attack and mid section. Lacking complexity and the alcoholic kick. 15% ( probably more) ABV. Just too much

Love Celler Vall Llach, although this wine seemed a bit more tannic than earlier vintages. But air and food did the trick, and then enough Priorat qualities, especially carignan, really started to show. Love the way this wines coats the palate and stands up to big food.

Lots of power and complexity. Nose of tar, licorice, fruitcake, vanilla, and espresso. Big, fleshy mouthfeel with ample tannins. Lots of blueberry. Still on the rise and could use time to soften.

I've had this before but today it is hitting off all cylinders. Dark plum, blackberry, vanilla bean and milk chocolate. So good. Drink this now.
